The scale factor is given by the ratio of the lengths of the sides in the enlarged photograph to the original length.
The original length of each side is 3 centimeters, and the enlarged length of each side is 8 centimeters.
So, the scale factor is:
8 cm / 3 cm = 2.6666666666666665
Therefore, Leo used a scale factor of approximately 2.67 to create the photograph from the original.
